Virginia Motor Speedway

I have never been to VMS and I am thinking about heading down ( 4 hours one way ) this Saturday. I believe this is the first time in a few years that their big race will go head to head with not only the WoO but also the LOLMS with the rescheduled Brownsburg race. That being said, will they still get a decent car count? I know it is an Ultimate sanctioned race, but was not sure how many drivers from both the south and the Mid-Atlantic region will support it? I have seen pictures and heard it is a beautiful facility.

I think it will be a good show worth the trip. Theres a lot of good regional drivers in the area that should be there

Thanks, that was what I was thinking as well. I am sure there will be drivers there that I don't normally get to see race and I always like seeing a new track for the first time.

Yeah that place has come a long way since the 1st time i went as a kid in the late 80s early 90s. Was kind of a sh1t hole back then with low car count, but it was entertaining with the mix of cars they had. Youd have the locals plus a few Potomac regulars, and youd have some asphalt cars from Langley and Southside. They completely redid pretty much the entire facility and it looks like a different track now

I've been to this race in shorts and tee shirt but Saturday night is supposedly 28 degrees with wind. Take your long drawers!

A good hack to stay warm is the Thermocare wraps. Yes they usually have a reasonable car count, the racing is solid, and the facilities are immaculate!

And it's an ULTIMATE show.......those guys don't clown around ,they keep things moving along.

And the talent will be very good as well.........wish I could join you guys........have a wedding obligation, great, huh?

Sounds like Madden and Weaver may be there. Would love to see those 2 hit Potomac friday night also

If the icebreaker gets raind out you will prolly see more. Im thinking jd as one

BTE, That place is a BEAUTIFUL TRACK!!! But for some reason every time I plan on going it rains.... I checked the forecast and sure enough calling for rain sat...Who didn't know that Right... Like you BTE it's a 330-4hr drive pulling the camper.. In my past experience even if there a chance of rain it ALWAYS SEEMS TO DUMP IT DOWN OVER THE TRACK..So the only advice I have for ya is check out the forecast B-4 you make that trip...I hope the weather man is full of chit cause im was really looking 4ward to a BOLONGA BURGER WITH FRIED ONIONS AND CHEESE

VMS can't catch a break! Great folks and awesome facility.

Figures. I had changed my plans of going to Dominions opener to hit VMS. Last 3 times ive gone or even planned on going its rained. I got to see street stock practice and Covert and Davenport pull onto then immediately off the track in the last few years

So it's your fault???.....you are no longer allowed to go or plan to go.

Tough break for those guys again.....

As usual VMS pulled the plug too early. The rain chances are down to 30% and have gone down each day. They should have made every effort to get a big show in.
